Ft. Wayne: Xavier Edwards continues to lead the Midwest League in hitting (.350), but his lead is down to .02 points ... Tucupita Marcano (.312) is 7th ... the TinCaps struggling offense has been bolstered by Lee Solomon, last year's 25th round selection from Lipscomb. Solomon has a 6-game hitting streak (9-for-18) with six walks ... Also fueling the offense is the sudden power burst by SS Justin Lopez, who has homered in 4 of his last 7 games. Lopez just turned 19 ... Joey Cantillo's last 3 starts: 16.1IP 7H 1R 3BB 19Ks ... Starters Cantillo, Efrain Contreras, Ryan Weathers and Ramon Perez are all 19 years old. Sam Keating is . 20.

Lake Elsinore: Mackenzie Gore's numbers are ridiculous: 3-1 1.07 0.71 WHIP ... SS Gabriel Arias has really struggled since returning from the injured list (.125 in last 10 game), but he has been making decent contact and continues to play stellar defense ... expect one of LE's lights out bullpen to be promoted to Amarillo soon. Lead candidates are Jean Cosme (2-0 1.40) and Evan Miller (1-1 1.25) ... Estuery Ruiz has recovered from a down April to slash .321/.361/.625 with 5 HRs in May.

Amarillo: 2B Ivan Castillo, who signed as a minor league free agent last November (Toronto), has given the lagging Amarillo offense a boost: .353/.384./.485 in 16 games ... no word on Pedro Avila and Reggie Lawson's injuries, though I believe Lawson was put on IL for a "tired arm." ... Kyle Lloyd got a victory as a starter and a save as a reliever last week.

El Paso: The Chihuahuas still have the PCL's best record at 29-16 despite a 4-6 record over the past 10 games ... Luis Urias' strikeout percentage has dipped to under 20% ... Power-hitting first baseman Aderlin Rodriguez has been on the IL since ST and has not seen action yet. Remember he hit 4 home runs in limited action in ST games ... El Paso is still on pace to set a PCL record for home runs in a season.
